  9. Some Insights ● What number did we drop? ● With 2 trits, dropped ++. ● With 3 trits, dropped +++. ● With 4 trits, dropped ++++. ● Always drop ++…++ ● What numbers did we invert? ● With two trits: +0 ● With three trits: ++0, +0-, +00, +0- ● With four trits: +++0, ++0-, ++00, ++0+, +0--, +0-0, +0-+, +00-, +000, +00+, +0+-, +0+0, +0++ ● Always invert numbers starting with ++…++0. ● This always works!

  10. How Many Extra +s Per Column? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j – 1) / 2 extra +'s. 0+ +- +0

  11. How Many Extra +s Per Column? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j – 1) / 2 extra +'s. 00+ 0+- 0+0

  12. How Many Extra +s Per Column? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j – 1) / 2 extra +'s. 00+ 0+- 0+0 0++ +-- +-0 +-+ +0- +00 +0+ ++- ++0

  13. How Many Extra +s Per Column? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j – 1) / 2 extra +'s. 00+ 0+- 0+0 0++ +-- +-0 +-+ +0- +00 +0+ ++- ++0

  14. How Many +'s Get Flipped? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j -1) / 2 flipped +'s.

  15. How Many +'s Get Flipped? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j -1) / 2 flipped +'s. 0+ +- +0

  16. How Many +'s Get Flipped? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j -1) / 2 flipped +'s. 0+ +- +0

  17. How Many +'s Get Flipped? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j -1) / 2 flipped +'s. 00+ 0+- 0+0 0++ +-- +-0 +-+ +0- +00 +0+ ++- ++0

  18. How Many +'s Get Flipped? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j -1) / 2 flipped +'s. 00+ 0+- 0+0 0++ +-- +-0 +-+ +0- +00 +0+ ++- ++0

  19. How Many +'s Get Flipped? ● Answer: The 3 j column has (3 j -1) / 2 flipped +'s. 00+ 0+- 0+0 0++ j − 1 j − 1 i = 3 ∑ +-- 3 +-0 2 i = 0 +-+ +0- +00 +0+ ++- ++0

  20. Summary ● A three-way scale lends itself naturally to a balanced ternary encoding for each of the balls. ● Given an encoding with the same number of +'s and -'s in each column, we can use the scale to read off one trit of the answer at a time. ● Flipping numbers starting with +0, ++0, etc. guarantees an encoding with this property.

  21. Generating Permutations

  22. “You are given a sorted string S of unique characters. Write a Java-style iterator that traverses all the permutations of S in lexicographical order.”

  23. Example

  24. Example abc

  25. Example abc acb bac bca cab cba

  26. Example 0 abc 1 acb 2 bac 3 bca 4 cab 5 cba
